Ingredients

  • 4 medium ripe peaches, pitted and sliced
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, divided
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk

How to Make Peach Upside-Down Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with 2 tablespoons of butter.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt the remaining butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar until well combined and slightly bubbly. Pour this mixture into the bottom of the prepared cake pan.
  3. Arrange the sliced peaches in a circular pattern on top of the brown sugar mixture, overlapping them slightly.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and milk to the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  6. Pour the batter over the peaches in the cake pan, spreading it evenly.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully invert it onto a serving plate.
  9. Let it cool slightly before serving. Top with whipped cream if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Use ripe but firm peaches for the best texture. Overripe peaches may become mushy.
  • Ensure your baking powder is fresh for a perfect rise.
  • Allow the cake to cool slightly before inverting to prevent the peaches from sticking.
  • Serve the cake warm for an extra cozy touch.

Easy Variations

  • Substitute the peaches with other fruits like pineapple, apricots, or plums for a different flavor.
  • Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for a warm spice note.
  • Drizzle some caramel sauce over the top before serving for added sweetness.

What to Serve With It

  • Fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a creamy contrast.
  • A dollop of Greek yogurt for a tangy balance.
  • A scoop of sorbet for a refreshing twist.
  • Serve with a cup of coffee or tea for a delightful afternoon treat.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week. Reheat slices in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds or enjoy at room temperature.
